Grappling with Fritz

Submitted by mis3u on Sat Aug 8, 2009 10:22pm.

Yes, this is what I do on Saturday nights. Play chess against the computer. Initial position taken from my old game which I had lost. Played something else in the original game and wanted to improve that, so I set up the pieces and decided to play... Read more »

Rook endgame question

Submitted by mis3u on Sun Jul 26, 2009 7:03pm.

     OK what I do now is I look at some of my old games and try to play them against Fritz, and play better than I did in the actual game so I can see how I should have won...in one of those games I am at a point where I reached a rook endgame... Read more »

Carlsen rules

Submitted by mis3u on Thu Jul 2, 2009 1:38pm.

 Dortmund tournament just started today and Magnus Carlsen won his first game against Russia's top rated player Dmitry Jakovenko in the Ruy Lopez Berlin. One of the things I like about Magnus is that he's different from many GMs who just want to ... Read more »

All these blitz clowns have no shame.

Submitted by mis3u on Mon May 11, 2009 8:49pm.

I understand that blitz rating points are soooo important to all the people who play online, but c'mon, there's limits to everything. I'm slow at blitz and you may succeed in flagging me, but why keep playing when you have a king and a pawn on the... Read more »

Shveshnikov, don't try this at home:)

Submitted by mis3u on Tue Apr 14, 2009 12:02pm.

Playing against Shveshnikov Sicialian is a lot of fun, it always gets very crazy. Below is a blitz game I just played, I have no time for decent analysis(I am sure a couple mistakes could be found), I have to run....just the game felt like fun so ... Read more »

Sicilian Dragon:"The report of my death was an exaggeration".

Submitted by mis3u on Tue Mar 3, 2009 10:13pm.

It is heart-warming to see that in this era of computer-assisted chess preparation, Dragon can grow another head. Fischer outlined his 'science' of how to tame the beast 40 years ago, but it can't be that simple if super-GM like Magnus Carlsen cho... Read more »

So sick of all the computer-backed experts

Submitted by mis3u on Sat Feb 21, 2009 10:37am.

Just watching the Kamsky-Topalov match at the moment on playchess, and all the commentary I can see in the kibitzers' window is people arguing between themselves about what their computers tell them about the game, stuff like "my Rybka says that m... Read more »

World Championship match starts tomorrow

Submitted by mis3u on Mon Oct 13, 2008 6:49am.

Who do you think will be the World Champion, Anand or Kramnik ? It's not easy to predict. I like them both as players, I like Anand's style more than Kramnik's...if I was to pick the winner, I'd say Kramnik though.We'll see, I can't wait to watch ... Read more »
